So i'm searching blogger/blogspot for blogs about runners running and I'm not really finding much because I don't get how google has this stuff organized. But I come across ur page. and Wow. right there at the top of the page u lead in with Dog running in woods...blister creme sales ad...and a 16 layer jello trifle creation! It's the only runner's blog i could find, but at least it's a winner!
Julie!!! I am glad I found your blog. I have a question that I need to talk about with you concerning the Duluth Snowshoe Marathon. I picked up the registration forms (I've completed countless Grandma's and Twin Cities Marathons and know what to expect). I have never done a snowshoe marathon and not done a 'lot' of snowshoeing, but I really want to do this. That said, I have some questions...
Do I really need those expensive Atlas 'run' snowshoes to do this marathon? Or would those Yukon Charlies snowshoes (cheap) at Sam's Club be just fine? What kind of clothing would you suggest wearing? Did you bring music/ipod/anything like that? Would you suggest wearing the same kind of marathon socks (anti-blister)? If you have any other advice, I would really appreciate it, as I am trying to put the finishing touches on my gear in order to feel ready and confident for this race. I am in Duluth and there is NOTHING going on between now and April (for running events) and I figured this would be the perfect thing to look forward to.
My email is jonathanlund@me.com, hope to hear from you!!
12 years ago in the haze of a hangover I read Oprah's Make The Connection. It changed my life. I lost the fat, I put down the booze, began eating in a healthy manner, began to walk, then run. Run On! I first began running marathons. Liked it so much I found some crazy ultra runners in MN who showed me the trail and ultramarathons. 39 marathons and 40+ ultra marathons later ( 15 100 mile ultramarathons in the past 5 years) I am sober, lean and happy. I am now inspiring others to run, as Oprah inspired me. Coaching beginning runners is a gift I like to give every day. It's not just about running..it's about all that comes with it: goal setting, empowerment, a belief in oneself, being true to oneself. 2007 brought 4 100 mile finishes, 2008 brought 4 100 mile finishes, a BQ and PR at TCM, a PR at the 100 mile trail distace at Javelina Jundred: 23:13. 2009 brought another PR at the 100 mile distance! Amazing. Lean Horse 100, a dream come true. What holds for 2010? WHO KNOWS?? NOT I!
